Super fast, and reliable 9/22/2020 5:30:41 PM

Pros: Reliable - Been running almost constantly with this drive since march (beginning of covid working from home). I mean like every day for at least 12 hours a day.
Fast. - Never missed a morning meeting due to boot up speeds. Machine is up in running in seconds.

Overall Review: I really like how clean this makes by tower look, No messy cords, just plug and play.
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a second one.

Easy setup in macOS 9/19/2020 12:05:15 PM

Pros: Fast. Plug & Play. Setup using the utilities supplied with macOS.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This 1TB HP EX950 SSD replaces an older Samsung EVO 850 SATA III SSD in my classic Mac Pro 5,1. I installed the EX950 on a Lycom DT-120 PCIe adapter & placed it into an open PCIe slot. Next I ran the macOS 10.14 Mojave installer from the EVO SSD and restored a recent Time Machine backup. There was no need to access macOS Recovery mode. The installation ran without any issues. The HP EX950 is bootable and runs as my primary macOS drive.

Config:
- slot 4: Gigabyte Titan Ridge 2.0 Thunderbolt 3 (flashed)
- slot 3: Sonnettech Allegro Pro USB 3.0
- slot 2: HP EX950 1TB NVMe + Lycom DT-120
- slot 1: PowerColor Red Dragon Vega 56

Limitations:
The HP EX950 is capable of much higher speeds but is limited by the slower PCIe 2.0 slots of cMP 5,1 to about 1500 MB/s. That's still triple the EVO 850 performance along with faster access times.

I bought the 1TB EX950 on sale from NewEgg's email sales subscription. It was an excellent upgrade and is highly recommended for any platform or OS!

Didn't last.. AVOID AT ALL COST 9/16/2020 9:51:21 PM

Pros: Fast when it worked

Cons: Only lasted 5 months
Quality is horrible
Horrible warranty 5 years is a joke since the serial# and P/N aren't recognized by HP Warranty

Overall Review: I ordered the 2TB and the first one was DOA so I opted for a replacement. That was a bad decision because 5 months later it stopped working. I tired to warranty through HP but the serial and part numbers aren't recognized. Do yourself a favor and avoid this SSD.

RMA is horrible if it dies. 8/17/2020 3:44:33 PM

Pros: The drive, when it isn't DOA, preforms well.

Cons: One of these drives I received was DOA. The RMA request was done in a reasonable amount of time. The problem is that I shipped the DOA drive out 90 DAYS ago, and JUST received a confirmation that the replacement has been shipped. That will put it close to TWO MONTHS for this RMA to be completed. This is an absolute joke. If you receive a DOA drive, just send it back to Newegg for a refund, that'll only take 3 weeks.

Overall Review: The drives seem to be pretty decent. The RMA response time sucks. If you need warranty services, just buy another drive if you need to use your machine. In a couple months you'll probably get a replacement.

Very fast and great capacity 8/12/2020 9:05:23 AM

Pros: I use EX950's after having great results with EX900/EX920 drives in smaller capacities. From the 512GB to the 1TB and 2TB units, we see great performance at a reasonable price. Reliability has been 100% for several years across dozens of drives. I no longer even consider !ntel drives, which is fine because the performance of the 860p is very disappointing.

Cons: The value is good, but I would ALWAYS be happier with a lower price!

Overall Review: My go to for both notebooks and workstations for NVMe storage.
